Here’s what you can expect from Cubit 9.1:
Flags
We have developed a solution that will let you customise how you highlight and use your data; Flags.
Estimates can get very large, and it can be difficult to remember what items you need to come back and check or keep working on. With flags you can draw attention to, or highlight important/specific items throughout your estimates.
Using this new Cubit 9.1 feature you can flag an item or trade, and at the same time assign a status to that item. You can also
- Add notes to the flag
- Use colours to show status
– Flag as orange for incomplete, red for attention, purple for review, or pink for follow-up.
This functionality extends across your Estimate, Calculation, and Rate Sheets.
The new Flag Pane enables you to quickly review your collection of Flags, and go directly to where they sit within your estimate.

Exclude From Total
In Cubit 9.1., you have the ability to perform additional sets of calculations within the estimate, or create subtotals. You can decide if you wish to have these as part of the overall Job calculations. Exclude from total enables you to mark particular items and trades to exclude them from the Job total.
This can be done by using the new Exclude from Total column in your Estimate, Calculation, or Rate Sheet; or by choosing the new Exclude from Total Result Type in your Estimate Sheet.
For example, you could use ‘Exclude from total’ to work out the subtotal of a particular set of trades, and they won’t appear in the overall Job Total. They will also be omitted when you export your Job to Excel or create a Grouped View within your Job. These can also be hidden in your reports.
After creating your subtotals, just mark all of these headings using the Exclude from Total Column, and you’re done:

Full Page Plan Report
We have introduced a new Plan Report. This will enable you to generate a report of the plans in your viewport while maintaining your takeoff, export to PDF, and print the plan to A4 or A3 size.
You can also customise the colour of the report, and choose to include the legend on the second page.
Ruler
We have introduced a new Ruler tool in Cubit 9.1. This ruler enables you to take measurements on your plans which will not be added to your quantities.
This allows you to take quick measurements of a wall, window, or other space on your plan without having to add it to your estimate. This measurement will appear as a preview until you choose another item, or take another measurement with the Ruler.
New Bartender Notification
Understanding how your quote and comparison data works within Cubit and Bartender is essential to creating a successful estimate.
In Cubit 9.1, we’ve introduced a new notification, that will show you any quotes that will be deleted when a job is sent to Bartender.
